Winterize Your Home With Self Storage

Well we got it. We got a pretty bad winter storm that came through the area. Not too much snow but plenty of freezing rain, sleet and cold temperatures. Hopefully, you have winter proofed your home to the elements. Here are nine tips on how to help your home survive the winter intact:

1. Make sure garden hoses are unhooked and outside faucets are winterized
2. If you have an older home you might want to put clear plastic coverings over the windows to prevent cold air from leaking in
3. Keep patios empty so that snow and ice removal will be easier
4. Rent a self storage unit to store away those grills, bikes, patio furniture to keep them out of the weather
5. Check you dryer vent to make sure it is in good repair and clear of any lint buildup
6. Check trees on your property to make sure they are not close to any power lines
7.  Use your garage to park cars (garage- park cars, that’s a great idea)
8. Keep you walkways and sidewalks clean of snow and ice
9. Be a good neighbor and help out someone in need

These are just a few tips on how to make your home, yard and garage survive the winter a little better. A self storage unit is a great way to get some of those extra garage items out of the way so your vehicle will fit. Call your local self storage business for information.
